Today’s Forecast:
VERY dense fog has been observed through the region this morning and you should plan on adding plenty of extra time to your morning commute. Some drizzle and mist was being observed across Colorado Springs with the fog, but both the fog and drizzle will dry out and fade as the morning moves along. We’ll see dry skies and even some sunshine from the late morning through the early afternoon. A cold front in the afternoon is going to try and spark showers and thunderstorms through the region, mainly for areas along the eastern slopes and out east into the plains.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK:
A foggy and drizzly morning is likely to greet parts of southern Colorado tomorrow morning, but like today, we’ll clear out the skies as we head towards lunch. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are possible again tomorrow afternoon, but the Pikes Peak region and areas east are the most likely places to see rain. Friday through the weekend is looking GORGEOUS with a return of the sunshine, beautiful temperatures and highs back into the 70s and even a few 80s by Sunday and Monday!
